QUEEN DHARINI
12. The name of king Kunik's consort was Dharini. She had tender and delicate limbs. All her five sense organs were flawless, well developed and perfect in performance. She was well endowed with all auspicious signs (like a good fate-line in the palm etc.) and marks (like moles and birth marks) as well as virtues (like good character and conduct). In terms of height, weight and figure she was perfectly, exquisitely and absolutely beautiful. Her personality was charming and delightful like moon. She was the epitome of supreme beauty.
Her waist was so slender that it could be held in a fist. Her abdomen had three delicately formed lines. Her ear-rings enhanced the beauty of her cheeks. Her face was pure and soothing like the moon. Her exquisite dress was like the abode of amatory sentiment (shringar rasa). Her gait (gati), smile (smit), speech (bhanit), behaviour (kriti), and movement (vilas) were perfectly graceful (snagat). She evinced eloquence in her speech and dignity in her behaviour. She was, indeed, attractive, spectacular, enchanting and mesmerizing.
She had unwavering adoration for her husband king Kunik, the son of Bhambhasar (Shrenik Bimbisar). She was not offended even when he was angry. She lead a happy life, enjoying with her husband all the desired pleasures of the five sense organs (speech, touch, taste, vision and smell). कोणिक की राज्य सभा

१३. राजा कोणिक के यहाँ एक ऐसा वार्ता-निवेदक पुरुष-(समाचार देने वाला) में पर्याप्त वेतन पर नियुक्त था, जो भगवान महावीर के प्रतिदिन के विहार आदि के समाचार
